When I turned 30, my mantra was: Rougie - 30 and Fabulous.
Last year, I embraced turning 34 with Christina Aguilera's "Keeps Gettin' Better" as my own, personal theme song.
Tomorrow I turn 35 and I need a new theme song. Not that I am not still fabulous. Or that I am no longer getting better. Quite the contrary. But I am at a different place in my life and I need a new song to go along with it.
I've thought about sticking with Xtina because who doesn't feel empowered and awesome when listening to Fighter? I'm also mildly obsessed with Survivor by Destiny's Child because I am a survivor and I am NOT going to give up and I am gonna work harder. But both songs are as much about putting someone else down (I'm a fighter/survivor because of what you did to me asshole) as they are about celebrating the awesome and I'm not in the market to put anyone down. I just want to celebrate my own fabulosity.
So I throw it out there to you dear readers and friends: what should be my new theme song for the coming year? Need a little inspiration? I think the beautiful Cass captured me perfectly:
Song suggestions can either be submitted in the comments section or you can email me directly. And whoever picks the winning song (you have until the end of the day on Friday) will get a dozen crack cookies.
All right 35: Bring it on. Rougie is ready!
